Learn how to share your desktop, windows or documents with others via a Teams chat or meeting.

For supporting documentation (Screen Sharing in Teams), please visit the Remote Access Document Library > Teams folder.

Each participant of a Teams chat or meeting can participate in screen sharing. This can be a window or document. It is not required; however, it is recommended that you open any documents that you wish to share prior to selecting this function.

Screen Sharing via Chat

• Select the share icon to the right of the microphone.
• When sharing via the chat message, choose your desktop or a window.
• Grant permissions to control the shared screen and stop presenting via the toolbar at the top of the desktop.
• If this is a chat, you will be given the option to turn this into an audio call.

Screen Sharing via Audio or Video Call

• Select the share icon to the right of the microphone. You will be presented with the option of selecting your desktop/window, open PowerPoint and other documents, or browse. When choosing browse, you will have the ability to search additional options for sharing.
• Select the appropriate window or document and share.
• To stop sharing, select the screen sharing icon in the toolbar that now has an X to stop sharing.
